[0025] Reference Figure 1A support frame for automotive battery protection film includes: a frame body 100, a support ring 300, and a support rib assembly 500. The frame body 100 is provided with connecting portions 130 and support portions 150, with multiple connecting portions 130 distributed around the support portions 150. The support ring 300 is located between the connecting portions 130 and the support portions 150, and surrounds the support portions 150. The support rib assembly 500 is disposed on the support ring 300, extends to the edge of the frame body 100, and provides support between the support ring 300 and the connecting portions 130. The support rib assembly 500 is distributed around the support ring 300. The frame body 100 is equipped with multiple connecting portions 130 distributed around the support portions 150, which can achieve multi-point stable connection with external machines, distribute the force, and avoid structural deformation caused by single-point connection. The support ring 300 surrounds the support portions 150, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the core area and preventing the battery protection film from shifting or shaking when placed. The support ribs 500 extend from the support ring 300 to the edge of the frame 100, forming a continuous support structure that ensures uniform force distribution. This design prevents stress concentration in specific areas, thus avoiding premature structural failure. Distributed around the support ring 300, the support ribs 500 also provide additional stability against external forces from all directions. This enhanced stability ensures the safe placement of the battery modules on the support frame, reducing the risk of damage to the battery modules due to support frame deformation. Furthermore, the design of the support ribs 500 improves the fatigue resistance of the support frame; under repeated loads, the support ribs 500 maintain their structural integrity, extending the service life of the support frame.

[0026] It is foreseeable that the outer surface of the support part 150 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture can effectively increase the friction between the support part 150 and the roll of battery protective film, prevent the roll of battery protective film from sliding or shaking on the support frame, and ensure the stable placement of the roll of battery protective film.

[0027] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The support rib group 500 includes a first reinforcing rib 510 and a second reinforcing rib 520, which are staggered and extend from the support ring 300 to the edge of the frame 100. The support rib group 500 consists of the first reinforcing rib 510 and the second reinforcing rib 520, which are staggered and extend from the support ring 300 to the edge of the frame 100. This staggered arrangement forms a dense support network, effectively dispersing forces acting on the support frame in various directions and avoiding stress concentration. Compared with unidirectional reinforcing ribs, the staggered design can better resist multi-directional stresses, enhancing the stability and deformation resistance of the structure.

[0028] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2There are multiple first reinforcing ribs 510 and multiple second reinforcing ribs 520, with each first reinforcing rib 510 and each second reinforcing rib 520 parallel to each other. The multiple first reinforcing ribs 510 and multiple second reinforcing ribs 520 intersect to form a grid structure 600. The grid structure 600 significantly enhances the load-bearing capacity and rigidity of the support rib group 500. The parallel arrangement of the reinforcing ribs can evenly distribute the load, avoiding structural failure caused by excessive local stress. When subjected to external impact, the grid structure 600 can effectively disperse the force to multiple reinforcing ribs, resisting deformation through the synergistic effect of the overall structure. Compared with the non-grid structure 600, this design can use less material while maintaining the same strength, achieving structural lightweighting without sacrificing stability.

[0029] Furthermore, local reinforcing blocks are added at the nodes of the 600 mesh structure. These reinforcing blocks can be made of metal or high-strength plastic. The reinforcing blocks further strengthen the connection strength of the nodes, preventing cracking or deformation under long-term stress or impact. By adding reinforcing blocks at key stress points, the overall strength and durability of the support frame can be effectively improved, ensuring reliable performance even under complex working conditions, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency, and saving operating costs.

[0030] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 The first reinforcing rib 510 and the second reinforcing rib 520 are orthogonal to each other. One of the first reinforcing ribs 510 and 520 extends along the length direction of the frame 100, and the other extends along the width direction of the frame 100. The orthogonal arrangement of the first reinforcing ribs 510 and 520, extending along the length and width directions of the frame 100 respectively, gives the support frame excellent torsional resistance and isotropic strength. The orthogonal design ensures that external forces in any direction can be effectively resisted and dispersed, avoiding structural weaknesses caused by the inconsistency between the direction of the reinforcing ribs and the direction of the force. The orthogonal reinforcing ribs can form a stable mechanical support frame, preventing the support frame from torsion or bending deformation. This comprehensive reinforcement design provides a stable and reliable load-bearing platform for the battery protective film, maintaining stability regardless of the direction of force, greatly improving the safety of the protective film during use and the service life of the machine.

[0031] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2The support rib group 500 also includes a third reinforcing rib 530. The first and second reinforcing ribs 510 and 520 are interleaved with the third reinforcing rib 530, with a portion of the third reinforcing rib 530 located within the grid structure 600. The addition of the third reinforcing rib 530 further optimizes stress distribution, forming additional support points within the grid structure 600, enhancing local strength and overall stability. Especially at the nodes of the grid structure 600, the third reinforcing rib 530 effectively alleviates stress concentration problems and improves the connection strength of the nodes. This multi-dimensional reinforcement design enables the support frame to better adapt to complex stress environments, resist multi-directional external forces, ensure good working condition under harsh conditions, provide stronger protection for the automotive battery's protective film, and reduce the risks caused by support structure failure.

[0032] It is conceivable that strain sensors can be installed on the frame 100 to monitor the stress on the reinforcing ribs in real time during use. The strain sensors can transmit data to the monitoring system, which will promptly issue an alarm when the stress exceeds a set threshold, alerting maintenance personnel to conduct an inspection. This intelligent design helps to detect potential structural problems early, avoiding serious consequences caused by support frame failure, and improving the safety and reliability of automotive batteries when installing protective films. It is particularly suitable for new energy vehicle applications with extremely high safety requirements.

[0033] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 Multiple third reinforcing ribs 530 extend from the support ring 300 toward the edge of the frame 100, and are distributed around the support ring 300. These multiple third reinforcing ribs 530, evenly distributed around the support ring 300, together with the first and second reinforcing ribs 520, form a more complete reinforcement system. This surrounding reinforcement design effectively resists tangential and radial forces acting around the support ring 300, preventing deformation or displacement of the support ring 300 under stress. Regardless of the angle from which the external force originates, the third reinforcing ribs 530 work in conjunction with other reinforcing ribs to form a stable support structure, ensuring that the support ring 300 stably surrounds the support portion 150, thereby providing precise and reliable support for the battery module and improving the performance and reliability of the entire support frame.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2A portion of the support rib assembly 500 extends between the support portion 150 and the support ring 300, connecting them via the support rib assembly 500. This connection strengthens the bond between the support portion 150 and the support ring 300. The extended portion of the support rib assembly 500 acts like a link, tightly connecting the support portion 150 and the support ring 300, ensuring they work together to bear the load and preventing structural failure due to loose connections or insufficient strength. Under the weight of the battery's protective film, the connection between the support portion 150 and the support ring 300 becomes more stable, effectively transferring the load to the entire support frame structure and achieving uniform stress distribution. This integrated connection improves the overall integrity of the support frame, enabling it to maintain stable and reliable performance under various complex working conditions, extending the support frame's service life, and ensuring the safe operation of the automotive battery protective film installation.

[0035] Furthermore, an elastic buffer layer is provided between the support portion 150 and the support ring 300. The buffer layer is made of a highly elastic material, such as silicone rubber or high-density foam. The elastic buffer layer can absorb some energy when the frame 100 is impacted, reducing the rigid impact on the support portion 150 and protecting the battery module from damage.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The frame 100 has folded edges, and reinforcing ribs extend to and connect with these folds. The folds provide additional anchoring points for the supporting ribs 500, significantly enhancing the strength and rigidity of the frame's edges. The folded edge design increases the contact area between the supporting ribs 500 and the edge of the frame 100, resulting in more even force distribution and preventing deformation or damage to the edges due to stress concentration. In practical use, the folds effectively resist external impacts or lateral forces during installation, protecting the edges of the support frame from damage.

[0037] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The connecting portion 130 and the support portion 150 are located on one side of the frame 100 and extend away from the frame 100, while the support ring 300 and the support rib assembly 500 are located on the other side of the frame 100. The orientation of the connecting portion 130 and the support portion 150 allows for tight mating with external machinery and the film roll of the battery protection film, ensuring a stable connection and effective support. The support ring 300 and the support rib assembly 500, located on opposite sides, provide complete enclosure and support for the battery module, preventing external interference or impact during operation. This separate design avoids interference between structures, allowing each component to fully perform its function, improving the overall performance and reliability of the support frame, and facilitating installation and maintenance. It provides a more flexible and efficient solution for the integration of automotive battery systems.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The frame 100, connecting part 130, support part 150, and support rib assembly 500 are designed as an integrated structure. This integrated design eliminates gaps and assembly errors between components, significantly improving the overall strength and stability of the support frame. The integrated structure ensures the continuity of mechanical properties between the various parts, allowing the support frame to work collaboratively as a whole under stress, avoiding structural problems caused by loosening or failure of the connecting part 130. Compared to a split structure, the integrated design reduces the number of parts, simplifies the manufacturing process, and lowers production costs and assembly time. Simultaneously, this design enhances the sealing and corrosion resistance of the support frame, extends its service life, and provides more reliable and durable protection for automotive battery modules.

[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0040] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
